I Couldn't Think Of A Good Title So I Went With This

Last week I went to Het Zuiderzeemuseum
in Enkhuizen. The museum is built around the idea to preserve the
"fishing culture" that lived there at the end of the 19th and beginning
20th century. They've literally moved houses as a whole from all over
the country to get a pure image of the different fortresses around that
time. Though, to be honest, it's very alike modern villages as Volendam...
but then without the moderness of it. You can get exactly the same idea
or atmosphere from real villages without them asking you to pay entree.
So that was a bit disappointing.

But don't get me
wrong, we had loads of fun hanging around the museum. There were actors
recreating scenes that could've happened in the day-to-day life back
then. They were AMAZING. Just rambling about things we have no clue off.

Besides
a museumpark, there's also an "actual" museum. Unfortunately we had to
run around like maniacs through it, because they were about to close for
a wedding. Oh yes, I've witnessed three weddings that day.

And
that's about it. The train journey was long and boring and it rained
all day, so it wasn't that perfect to be outside for a long time. But I
already had a cold, so... yeah.
